Hi Pete, You've got a perfect place to practice there, I love my gym!! I find going after a shower helps as you are more relaxed... Its also good that there is background noise going on as you can 'pretend' without anyone knowing. I started in the gym cubicles, then moved to the urinals. In a short time, I went from going at the urinal when the changing room was empty, to going when someone was at the sink behind me! Just keep visiting the loos throughout your time there to maximise practice, ie, when you arrive, after you change, halfway through workout, when you shower, then before you leave. Drain off a little each time to reserve your supply! As for the background noise thing... The workshops teach you that no-one cares what you're doing, which in turn reduces the 'fear' of someone coming in. So any noise you hear approaching is less of a concern to you. Im still jumpy in small WC's when I hear someone, but not as much as before the workshops. Im sure everyone varies on this subject. All the best, Mark.
